CPJ+ reduces process variability to maintain a constant Takt time by ensuring consistent flow rates for applications such as underfill with tight keep-out zones, and sealing applications. With Fluidmove software, integral electro-pneumatic regulators, and precision weigh scale, CPJ+ is said to automatically compensate for both fluid viscosity changes over time as well as batch-to-batch variations. Reportedly increases dispense accuracy for higher yields and ensures a highly repeatable process, minimizing setup-to-setup and line-to-line variation, while eliminating operator interaction.
